The Hackathon Dublin 2012, is a FREE joint event by OWASP and Google Developer Group (GDG) Dublin, that aims to raise awareness about application security, so that people and organizations can make informed decisions about true application security risks. Everyone is free to participate and all OWASP materials are available under a free and open software license.

The event is organized over two full days during the weekend of the 7th/8th July:

Day 1: Capture the Flag event running for an entire day and giving away prizes, etc for the winners. No previous security knowledge is required.

Security Shepherd is a security aware in depth project. Designed with the aim of fostering security awareness among a varied skill-set demographic. This project enables users to learn or to improve upon existing manual penetration testing skills.

IMPORTANT: Attendees need to bring their own laptops in order to participate during the event!

Rails makes it very easy to rapidly develop web applications, but doesn’t always make it so simple to deploy or secure them. Thomas is going to cover many common web security holes and show the best practices to secure them in your rails application. We'll look at them in abstract before getting hands on and doing it for real. Learnt through multiple high profile projects and penetration tests, Thomas will be presenting these in a practical 'real-world' way.

The talk is for programmers who want to write secure code. We'll go over 12 examples of security vulnerabilities and play spot-the-vulnerability with real examples that have been found in Facebook's source code.
